The new Apple iPad Pro

With the recent release of the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models, it’s only typical of the digital world to now await the next ‘big thing’ from Apple. And the new device may just be the iPad‘Pro’. A larger iPad designed predominantly for business users that will attempt to replace the laptop.

Design

Apparently, the new iPad will feature a screen measuring 12.9 inches diagonally – (the iPad Air and iPad have a 9.7 inch screen while the iPad Mini features a 7.9 inch screen), and may incorporate some form of keyboard, to re-create the laptop experience. Further design rumours include a repositioned camera, redesigned buttons and a touch ID sensor.

Specs

Speculators have suggested the iPad Pro will feature 2GB of RAM and run on the ‘A8X’ – an (awaited) enhanced version of the current chip found in the recently released iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. It has also been claimed that the new iPad will be available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB.

Release date

Inside sources have suggested that the iPad Pro will be released next year, alongside an updated iPad Mini. However Apple fans will not have to wait too long for a new Apple device with further rumours suggesting that a modified iPad Air will be released this year.

It’s just one day until the event many Apple fans have been waiting on the edge of their seats for. So what can you expect?

Rumour has it, history will repeat itself with the release of two iPhones. This year, speculations surround the release of an iPhone 6, at around 4.7”, and either an iPhone 6L or iPhone Air, at around 5.5” – likely to be taking the place of the rumoured Apple ‘Phablet’.

New iPhone features will supposedly include:

Sapphire glass – a material stronger than Gorilla glass – used on the previous Apple iPhones;

a power button on the side of the iPhone

an upgrade to the voice command system Siri

curved glass edges on the body

faster Wi-Fi chip

improved Touch ID fingerprint sensor

A8 processor

13 megapixel camera

and digital payments

Availability and price

If Apple follows it’s past history it’s likely the new iPhones will be available within 2 weeks of the announcement. When it comes to price, it’s rumoured the new iPhones will be around £90 more than last years 5S due to the new Sapphire glass.

But that’s not all…

Alongside the two new iPhones, it’s also rumoured that Apple will step into wearable technology with it’s very own smartwatch – the ‘iWatch’ or ‘iBand’ as some say. The Apple smartwatch may also be released in different versions, with rumours suggesting there will be different watches for men and women, and different size variants.
